Comments Thread For: Stephen Fulton-Naoya Inoue: The WBO Opens a Window

[JOITATS]

How many times have Top Rank and PBC matched undefeated A-sides against each other? Once. Wilder-Fury II in a joint PPV.

Inoue isn't a draw in the US and Fulton isn't a draw either. They are lower level A-sides in the Top Rank and PBC stables.

There is absolutely no feasible scenario in which it makes sense for them to fight each other. I'm sorry that you got fooled by a clickbait article.

Whether I'm an "insider" or not depends on your definition of insider. Do I work inside the industry? Yes.

You're labeling me a "wannabe" to cope with me exposing you as a wannabe. I'm happy to compare credentials if that's the road you want to go down.

you have no idea what you're talking about.

inoue's previous fights were PPV in japan.
they were so popular, it caused difficulties connecting to the server.

don't even compare his popularity to fulton. fulton is a no-name, inoue is not.
not all PPVs have to occur in the US.

you work in the industry. LOL.

Inoue vs Fulton is a bad ass matchup man. Crossing my fingers this one happens in 2023.

Please don't cross your fingers for this matchup. Fulton will be severely drained if it's at 122.

why in the world would inoue turn down fulton. i'm almost tired of hearing inoue calling out this guy.

fulton having way more tools? hilarious.
if you actually watched the figueroa fight, you would see both of those guys were literally standing there like punching bags.

haters will hate no matter what.

I am not impressed with the hypejob like you. Fulton is far more skilled and that is not hating, that's a fact.

He's earned the right by getting a gift decision against figuroa?

"...defeating undefeated opponents in four of his last five bouts, with three consecutive top ten wins at Jr. featherweight according to the rankings of the TBRB and Ring Magazine." That what you call putting in work! He beat Figueroa in Las Vegas, Roman in Minnesota, time for The Champ to get some home cooking! He ain't been on the East Coast since January 2021!

So I keep hearing about this Fulton guy masterful defense and I just watched the Figueroa fight to see for myself. Nothing but swinging and holding. That's what mfers around here call defense? Lmao.

Inoue gonna have to spar a wrestler to prepare for that fight if it ever gets made.

He didn't deserve the win and he knows it. He don't deserve shlt

[Bronx2245]

He didn't deserve the win and he knows it. He don't deserve shlt

He pulled out the win, Figueroa pulled out the division! Now the Unified 122lb. champion has agreed to the rematch! "Cool Boy Steph" has earned a homecoming!

[jockpunk]

Fulton clearly beat Figueroa. That said, he isn’t some defensive master that some are making him out to be. He is sound defensively but he can be hit. I think it would be a close fight with people calling robbery for whoever loses.

you have no idea what you're talking about.

Okay, I'll allow you to state your case . . .

inoue's previous fights were PPV in japan.

Irrelevant. PBC isn't sending a young undefeated unified world champion to Japan as a B-side on a Top Rank show. Seems you are the one that has no idea what you're talking about.

don't even compare his popularity to fulton. fulton is a no-name, inoue is not.

Inoue is a no name in the US and the amount of money it would take to get Fulton over to Japan as the B-side isn't an amount of money Inoue's team would pay. You're wasting your breath.

not all PPVs have to occur in the US.

They do if you want them to be successful in the US.

you work in the industry. LOL.

Yes. And? Maybe you're new around here?

thanks for the "inside info" LOL

if you knew anything about boxing in japan,
you'd know there have been a wealth of foreign champions who have fought in japan.
champions who are more famous and have demanded more purse than fulton.
let's get straight, inoue doesn't need or care about fulton. he can fight mj next, and get his belts.

stop acting like you know.
